Books. Difficult choice

    Recently I ran into the problem of choosing a book (in my particular situation - through Photoshop). Arriving at the bookstore, I stood in front of the shelves of the relevant subjects and realized that it was hardly possible to look through all the books from beginning to end. And then I tried to highlight several criteria for selecting good books. I hope they will be useful to someone.

    • Very thick books are bad, because they have little content and a lot of so-called " Water "
    • Books in which the first three chapters - “ Consider the interface ” are bad. They will not teach you anything new.
    • A good book and examples should be well executed.
    • A good book should be well designed, laid out. The opposite indicates the insolvency of the author.
    • In a good book, content should be harmoniously and logically built. Linearity is quite good in such situations.
    • You need to try to understand exactly what book you are looking for, what it should be about, how you will use it and where to apply the knowledge and materials.
    • Fancy books are often good.
    • When evaluating a book, you should use the introduction and content. Last but not least, a quick look at the illustrations.
    • It is better to start an inspection of the assortment with fresh books.
    • Hot Sales - The concept is extremely misleading. If people have not bought any books, except for one copy of the Leader, and then by chance, then this book is also a Leader. In general, large masses of people are extremely stupid. The larger they are, the stupider. Exponentially.

    All the results are good only in a certain case. They need to be thought out and recycled. I do not impose them on anyone. My opinion is subjective.
